TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Beware the Red Scare: There are 25 million communists in America.  That claim comes from FrontPage’s Daniel Greenfield who writes today, “The level of ‘very positive’ supporters for communism among Gen Z is already projected to stand at 10 million, another 9 million or so for Gen Z, another 4.5 million for Gen X and another 1.3 million for the Baby Boomers for a combined projected total of over 25 million communists”... In a post on X, the White House touts the roughly two dozen gas stations offering fuel for $3.47 a gallon (the 47 cents is a nod to our 47th president).  It’s 33 cents lower than the national average, according to the Trump-friendly Daily Caller, which nonetheless points out that the price is still “significantly higher” than before the war with Iran. While neither the White House nor Trump are involved in the low-price gas stations – called the Freedom Fuel Network – the post on X noted, “President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer - putting more money in your pocket”....Weekend Watch: I’m late to the party on this one, but I Will Find You, which has been streaming on Netflix since June 18, is one of the summer’s guilty pleasures. It’s often moronic and features highly implausible plot twists like the worst-staged prison break I have ever seen on TV or film.  Nonetheless, the fast-paced action and the heroic quest of a wrongly imprisoned man who searches for his missing young son kept me glued to the screen. Also: On a more somber note, the Daily Caller drops today the documentary Inside CECOT, a look at El Salvador’s notorious prison...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
